Last Week in Rotary




Car Rally Attracts Sunrise Sleuths!!!!







A bouquet to Ron and Larry who must have spent hours prior to Saturday organizing the route, thinking up the clues, purchasing the prizes and planning the delicious Roast Beef Dinner we enjoyed following the Rally.


Three teams were on hand at the Beach Hut at 1230 to receive directions and handouts from Ron and Larry:

1. Team 1 – The Jackson 4
2. Team 2 – Beckingham’s Sleuths
3. Team 3 – The Sly Dog’s

We were told that the winning team (the first team to return) would receive 30 points, the second 20 points and the third 10 points. In addition we were told we had to be observant because there would also be some skill testing questions when we returned that would test our powers of observation. We were off; all bent on being the first team to arrive back at a Pub – a location that was not revealed.


Here are the clues see if you can follow the route:

1. Clue #1 – “Old and Ancient in QB, time recorded here. Check out Walrus. Contact Art S. and get envelope.”
2. Clue #2 – “QBkids – Grades 6-8, follow the gravel past the fish to Melrose, don’t get stuck in the mud on your way. Bridge the gap. Stay left at the YWCA. Don’t get discouraged and sell yourself short.”
3. Clue #3 – “Feelings of butterflies, or someone has got your goat. This is next to cowboys, check the pond. Envelope in office.”
4. Clue #4 – “Go straight as a rifle to corruption and graft, which leads you east. At this time of day one sometimes thinks of mad dogs and ……… Follow route past the unicorn and lilies. Take the Abridged Route. What is different?”
5. Clue #4 – “Some Rotary members are known as this, of course some are more than others. Go to the centre but don’t get ruffled. Envelope at office.”
6. Clue #5 – “Follow the road of prayer looking for the morning star, you must cover the tracks and listen to moosic to get you in the moode. Envelope in office.”
7. Clue #6 – “In multiple choice questions, this is usually the last one. It rhymes with these. Proceed here without delay.”

Enjoying a cool one at the finish line
